سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ لِبَاسِ الْفِرَاءِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا إِلَّا فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ ذَكِيّاً قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ وَ لَيْسَ الذَّكِيُّ مِمَّا ذُكِّيَ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ بَلَى إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ قُلْتُ وَ مَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالسِّنْجَابِ فَإِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ لَا تَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِمَّا نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذْ نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ وَ مِخْلَبٍ .
Translation
And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and Abu Al-Hassan (Musa)<sup>asws</sup> about wearing the fur and performing the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in it. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in it unless in whatever was purified (slaughtered) from it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I asked, ‘Is it not so that the purified is from what is purified by the iron?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. When it was from the flesh what can be eaten’. I said, ‘And the flesh what (others) can be eaten, apart from the sheep?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with the squirrel, as it is an animal that does not eat flesh, and it is not of that which Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> prohibited; he<sup>saww</sup> forbade eating everything with a fang (dogtooth) and a claw’.
